The project started at the CSUN conference earlier this year. This is the biggest conference for assistive technology and education. Pecan became the star of the show as everyone wanted to see the budding photographer.

Pecan, Lucy, and the Yahoo! Accessibility Lab recently visited the Ed Roberts Campus in Berkeley. This center, conveniently attached to a BART station, provides a synergistic environment for organizations that improve the lives of the disabled. Enjoy the photographs as Pecan guides Lucy around this impressive center.

Pecan uses a Nokia phone that uploads the geolocated images to a server. This server provides some basic image manipulation and submits the images to Flickr, a photo sharing site from Yahoo.

You’ve got social pets. Fido is the king of the dog park and Virgil is lead singer of the neighborhood cat quartet. But are they truly social?

A Twitter Stream for your Pet

Wouldn’t it be great if your pets had their own Twitter account and let their pals know what they are up to?

Mattel’s Puppy Tweets hooks to your pet’s collar and periodically sends tweets based on their activity. Everyone will know if your pooch is chasing squirrels or sleeping on the couch while you are away.

Give Your Pet a Camera

If you’re dog is more of the Flickr type, you can get him a personal camera.
